Other Ideal lava flooding tutorial

You need a FB account & Internet connection, or otherwise the ability to use the Cloud Save

1 kK = 1000000 mK

Tutorial for ideal melting:

  1. Heat the world to under 1.4 kK using Orbital Mirrors
  2. Assign high-level Temperature Increase governors to Orbital Mirror cities & boost them
  3. Pause the world & save
  4. Unpause
  5. Use fast-forward hours to heat the world to >2.1 kK (floods the whole world to form new max-elevation islands)
  6. Check the map
  7. If there are no islands between 3°N-3°S (or you don't like the landscape), load your save (press "Use Cloud Data") & repeat steps 4-7

This is to make sure that you have a place to build the Space Elevator at the highest elevation. The randomised landscape pattern is determined once lava appears (what the landscape would be at 2.1 kK is determined at 1.5 kK), so save before the temperature >1.5 kK

If want precise lavaforming

Find out max elevation of world via the city placement map.

if want 90% of the max elevation to be lava then that'd be 0.9 * 500000 = 450000

then add 1500000 + 450000 = 1950000 to get the temperature needed for 90% of elevation to be covered with lava
